So I thought I'd try one. I’ll start with the submarine build and then the water base and wave build.

That kind of weather... they might get lucky, which would be very Not Good....

Looking forward to seeing what will eventually surface from you!

I have been on Lakes Superior and Michigan at times that felt like the scene you have created. I have stifled my interests in modeling the submarines from WWII to the early 70’s because I have enough trains to work with TomO Country: USA | Posts: 4202 BurleyJim Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/08/2021 :  2:06:22 PM     Frank, Is that photo what you completed? Or a painting of what you hope to accomplish? In either case, it's awesome!

I always wondered how it was done. Country: Canada | Posts: 1208 TRAINS1941 Engineer Premium Member Posted - 01/08/2021 :  3:07:36 PM     Well this is going to be a real interesting diorama!! That's one of the most beautiful ships I've ever seen!!! Jerry "And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." A.

Country: USA | Posts: 3199 terry hansley Crew Chief Posted - 01/08/2021 :  6:58:40 PM     Frank Looks great, maybe I'll get to see it in a few weeks. Terry H Country: USA | Posts: 603 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/08/2021 :  11:19:29 PM     Frank, Really looking forward to this. Being a fellow submarine enthusiast, I hope to pick up a lot of ideas. Even in 1/144 this should still be a fairly large model, at just under 312 scale feet. Also, I'm still really enjoying the Silent Service TV show you put me onto, during my U-Boat build. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHcicudhMPE Regards Rob My current build. http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53468 Edited by - robert goslin on 01/08/2021 11:20:36 PM Country: Australia | Posts: 2649 Frank Palmer Fireman Posted - 01/09/2021 :  09:44:16 AM       Hal, you can’t put nails in a submarine! Pete, lookouts , do you know how expensive those Shapeways things are? Woodland Scenics has some that I could use but – out of stock. Thanks Carl. Greg, it’s both, what I’ve done and what I’m going to show you. I thought I’d start with a bomb. Tom, Manitowoc on the Great Lakes was a big builder of submarines during WWII. During winter sea trials they froze there butts off. Jim, it’s two pictures in one. You’re both right. Rob, you can’t believe how many methods there are. You just have to find something that works for you. Thanks Jerry. Karl, thanks. Bill, so you like my subject? Terry, holly smokes it’s been a while. Hopefully the worst will be over and we all get vaccinated. Rob, I thought you might like it, yes it’s right at 26” long. 12’ to the inch – twelve twelves = 144, neat scale.

I'm looking forward to seeing your creation of this interesting project!
